Micro Computers
Micro computers can be defined as small, relatively inexpensive computer
designed for an individual user. They are based on the microprocessor

technology that enables manufacturers to put an entire CPU on one chip. They
are the Personal computers (PCs) used by individuals in homes, schools and
offices. E.g. Compaq, Dell, Gateway, Acer, Toshiba, Hewlett Packard (HP),
International Business Machine (IBM) Apple Macintosh, etc. Although micro
computers are designed as single-user systems, these systems are normally
linked together to form a network.
